    I'm thinking a cut and polish? But you gotta be careful with those compounds.

    I ended up with a massive scratch down the whole side of my car too.

    As soon as I got home - gave it a good wash, then clayed, polished and waxed the side of the car (all Meguiars stuff). 95% of the scratch was gone - what is left is so hard to see it is like its gone anyway!

    Luckily I only waxed the car last around Christmas and it seemed to do its job very well
